China & Russia

One thing that has been abundantly clear, despite Russia’s posturing over the past decade+, their armed forces are still in an utterly woeful state, with beyond shoddy equipment, poorly trained troops, and a complete lack of support.

They’ve poured billions into it and this is what they get…?
In any other context it would be quite amusing.

@AlexCorbin looking at the flight ban - I think your trip to Russia will probably be by boat.

Russia appears cut of from the Western Hemisphere.

I’m really enjoying some of the ridiculous routes some aircraft are now having to take.

Canada now banned Russian aircraft which means a lot of Russian flights to Cuba & the Caribbean have to take a different route.

Won’t this also strand aeroflot aircraft at airports so they can’t leave &’rack up hanger fees?

What a shame :smiley:

I have to say I’m happy with how well the world has come together on this.

Is it wrong that there is a part of me tempted to buy some shares in Rosneft Oil now their price has plummeted with BP announcing they are selling all their shares off? Short term pain but a chance of long term gain.

I won’t be doing it but I can see how those with money to burn could make a small fortune on the market from this

Yeah, but it’ll be taken off us after a few years and given to the SCC as it’s more a “Navy asset”.

Here’s hoping that was ammo storage

Fixed that for you…

…oh and the delay between the release of that poster and answers to those questions is likely to be 18-24 months…after which time (say 6 months) Ver2 will be released which is different by only 3% but moves both the goalposts for Cadet eligibility and Staff instructor validity different and disregards all previous authorisations on the topic (under the previous Ver 1)
